Lighter – If you are traveling with a roof tent, camper or folding caravan, you will usually have to provide for yourself at the campsite.
It therefore makes sense to be equipped with the appropriate outdoor cooking equipment in advance.
A gas stove, including a cartridge, possibly a gas barbecue or gas oven and crockery are essential items for your vacation.
However, you will also need a good gas lighter or a lighter to light the whole thing.
Ideally, this should be compact but with a handle and of good quality so that you can have it with you at all times and it is ready for use even in bad weather conditions and wind.

Camping Ratgeber:
Stick and storm lighter for every outdoor situation
A lighter is practical in many ways and is definitely part of your outdoor equipment when camping.

Advantages & use: long, refillable, practical
However, a simple lighter is usually not enough.
Although these prove to be very helpful in the household, they are not suitable for an outing in the great outdoors.
Particularly in bad weather, wind and rain, the small flame is usually not enough and is therefore rather disadvantageous when camping.
You should therefore always opt for a storm lighter that is wind-resistant and can be lit even in rain and storms.
Ideally, it should also be refillable and have a long neck so that you can easily reach the areas of the stove that need to be lit without burning yourself.
A length-adjustable flame also supports this and should be considered when purchasing.
You should pay attention to this when choosing your lighter:
- Stable and robust
- Insensitive to wind
- Long neck and with handle
- Durable and good quality
- Refillable
- Adjustable flame length
- Locking device / child safety lock
